With celebration month coming up now in February, can you all believe it's been 12 years?????!!!! I know I can't, it's like living a whole new life. I am amazingly blessed and thankful to God and to that doctor who helped me. Be sure to stick around for the prizes coming in Feb. I think this LOVE card is for all of you who have supported me through the years!
Here's a perfect winter theme card. It says, "When is HIBERNATION? Because I'm 100% participating in that." HA! I am one of those people who I think could hibernate lol. Sleep is one of my favorite states of being. Some people, like my DH say they resent sleeping.
Sharing a hilarious card today from AALL and Create. I think this dog is just TOO funny. it says, "don't even ask!" ha. The expression on his face says it all. Too precious. I added some great flower lace to go with it.
Sharing this cute owl theme card today using a stamp from Unity Stamps. Are they having Coffee or More? Hmmmmm, I guess I will leave that decision up to you. I am not sure how people will vote on this one. I am a huge coffee fan, so that's what I would say, but...
Here's a funny card from Taylored Expressions for Winter time. It says, "You say "imaginary" like it's a BAD thing." HA! perfect for this cute YETI. Totally made me laugh. I hope you like it and it gave you a little chuckle today.
Here's another lovely Christmas theme card from Karin of Karin's Art Scrap blog (click HERE KARINSARTSCRAP). I just love her winter theme cards, check out her amazing creations on her blog!
Well, it really used to annoy me when I was little and people would make fun of my name and say things like have a holly jolly christmas. (My name is HOLLEY--like the carbuerator, not the poisonous berry), but NOW, I have decided to embrace it, so Hey everyone,
Have a HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS!
Check it out, I'd love your feedback. Right now I am doing small amounts with pieces big enough for cards and smaller (like tag sized), but if you LMK what you want, I can make a pack just for you!!
Here's one version of the Christmas cards that I made to send out to friends and family. I also had some that were similar but they said "Merry Texmas" How fun is that? I got a couple more stamps from that same company (who is now closed) to make cards for next year.
Here's a hilarious image from Eureka stamps for Christmas time. What a fun image. I colored all the christmas lights in red. TOO Cute. I hope you get a little smile from this card today. I can't believe we are just a couple days from Christmas now. I hope you have wonderful holiday plans.
Here's a wonderful stamp from artist Sandra Caldwell of BabycakesDND on Etsy. She makes the most adorable images. I just love them all! If you have that last minute card you need to make, rush on over to her Etsy store and grab a christmas theme stamp to make one! If not, Check out all her other amazing themed images. This year I had to finish all my Christmas theme cards quite early due to the mailing delays that have been happening, but I still love me a couple christmas stamps.
Here's one of my favorite combos from Taylored Expressions, Gus and Gertie. I just love this adorable coupling. Here's a cute Christmas card I made using one of their stamps. I hope you are having a great December. We are getting out of school on the 21st. We are all READY for a break, lol.

Here's a cute cup of coffee for you, or perhaps hot cocoa. Either way, I am "sending a bit of happiness." I hope you like it. Have a great day as the holidays get closer. I hope you are going to get a little break around the holiday season or a chance to see your family.
Here's a lovely girl from the Paper Shelter. She's an image from our Sponsor this month at Your Scrapbook place Challenge Blog. I just love her. I colored her up and made her with some rosy cheeks. I added up some lovely lace and falling snowflakes to go with her. I hope you like it. Please drop by the YSBP Challenge and share your latest and greatest creations with us!
Thanks a Latte! for all the wonderful Birthday wishes, on my blog, on my Facebook, on my Instagram, and in person of course! I feel so loved. Huge hugs everyone. I do so appreciate all of you. I had a nice day off of work (even though I had to start the day with the dentist).
Celebrating the big 51! WOW, who would have thought I would have ever reached this age? Well, thanks to brain surgery, Here I am! WOO HOO. Praise the Lord and thank you Dr. Aboumatar. This card comes from a cute kit by Kit n Kaboodle.
But first coffee....here's another cute coffee theme card using this sweet stamp from Le Petite Market (online from Etsy); They make some great stamp sets. I love the coffee cup animals. I also had to add some fun donut theme stickers and of course, some Turkish Lace.
Hope you love him!
Here's a wonderful Christmas card that I received from Pat. I just LOVE that panda and esp a panda WITH coffee. TOO cute. Thank you so very much.

Happy Saturday everyone! Here's a card I made from a wonderful kit from The Paper loft which gives you a pattern set in which you can make 12 cards from 2 complimentary sheets of paper. I thought it was such a fun class at my last scrapbook show! This card was lovely out of the group.
Wishing you all a great week, we are now just five more work days to the Christmas Break at school. Enjoy your weekend first.
I know you are all showing your winter time cards, but winter doesn't actually hit on the calendar until Dec 21st, so I had to use this occasion to slip in one more fall time card using this awesome image from LTTS Doodles. I colored her up in green and added some wonderful Turkish Lace to go with her.
Happy Friday everyone!
Here's the cutest image from Honey Bee stamps combined with some cute papers, and embossed card background, a little turkish lace and some lovely little coffee stickers. How cute is that? I thought it was perfect for the two week of school before Christmas Break. We are already ready for it.
Here's the cutest elephant image from Lawn Fawn. I just love their little stamps. This one is TOO fun. I added some great Turkish lace to go with the card, beautiful floral lace. If you haven't checked out my store, it's going pretty well. I wish I could do orders overseas, but it's very complicated unfortunately. So sorry.
Here's a sweet and simple card using an image from Simon Says Stamp. Don't you love the cat in the box. I thought this card was perfect for December since most of us are likely to be mailing out packages. I can't believe we are in Dec now and just 10 days from Christmas break. Hope you like this sweet card today
Here's a lovely card from Karin of Karin's Art Scrap blog. I just love here layout and style, be sure and check out her amazing blog for daily inspirations! CLICK HERE She won this cute image from me last year during the February celebration! Woo hoo.

Here's a sweet and simple card from a wonderful card set by Simple Stories. I just love their gorgeous card making kits. I totally recommend them, they are the best quality and easy to put together. When I want to make cards and I don't feel the mojo (either my creative juice feels dry or I don't feel like coloring), I whip out a card making kit to get my juices flowing!
Well, it's Friday, we're all exhausted and have one day to get through before the weekend. I thought this hilarious stamp from Stamping Bella's Oddball stamp line was perfect for the day, "The less you give a damn the happier you will be." LOL, now I know no one around me is really going to stop caring, but the sentiment still made me laugh.
Today is a gorgeous image from Unity stamps along with some gorgeous lace from Turkiye. I just love this beautiful image, which makes me think of fall time. I created a monotone card in all greens with a brown highlight. I added a sentiment from Unity stamps, "The true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul." what a wonderful saying.
Happy December! Wow, can you believe we are nearing the end of 2021? who would have thought this entire year we would all be going through a pandemic all over the entire world. If you asked me that in the beginning of 2020 (say January) I would have said no, if you asked by March when shutdowns started, I still would have said no, we won't still be locked up a year and eight month from now...but here we are!
So, since it's the first of the month I am happy to announce that it's time for a brand new contest at the YSBP Challenge blog. Our wonderful sponsor this year is The Paper Shelter and they provided us with this adorable image to use:
Drop by Your Scrapbook Place challenge blog and join in the fun. You can enter any creation you make, but you will get an extra entry into the drawing if you use an image from The Paper Shelter. We can't wait to see what you create.
Here's the cutest fall bunny from Le Petite Art on Etsy. Don't you just love him? Super cute. I adore all their stamp sets, they come with great pairings of images for a great price. I would totally love a yellow scarf like this one.
Happy Monday everyone! I can guarantee this was a hard day for all the school staff to get back up and get into the swing of things again. We keep reminding ourselves there is just three weeks to Christmas break. LOL. You wouldn't think burnout would be happening this early in the school year, but I tell you, it is! Not just talking about myself, but the pain I am seeing across the board.

Here's another card i made using Paper Loft's class. You take a template that teaches you how to make 10 cards from 2 sheets of coordinating papers. It's actually pretty cool. I was so impressed with the class that I bought another template from them. You wouldn't think you could use ALL of a 12 by 12 sheet (make that 2) to create exactly 10 cards, but their templates teach you to do so! it's neat. I enjoyed their class at the last scrapbooking convention.
